Woman Writes Powerful Note To Childhood Bully Who Later Asked Her Out

Whether you are male or female I think we can relate. Someone that either made fun of you or completely ignored you and later asks you out because you have changed. For the ones that don't want to click here is her note cut and pasted.

This is what the note she left him said.

Hey [blank],


So sorry I can’t join you tonight.


Remember year 8, when I was fat and you made fun of my weight? No? I do – I spent the following three years eating less than an apple a day. So I’ve decided to skip dinner.


Remember the monobrow you mocked?


The hairy legs you were disgusted by? Remember how every day for three years, you and your friends called me Manbeast? No perhaps you don’t – or you wouldn’t have seen how I look eight years later and deemed me ****able enough to treat me like a human being.


I thought I’d send you this as a reminder. Next time you think of me, picture that girl in this photo, because she’s the one who just stood you up.


Louisa.

Good for her. Yeah, that would definitely be something I would love to do to the guys who teased me in HS.

Ah well. But nice to see some people come out on top after bullying/teasing. Not everyone has that luck.

Most bullies are some of the most quietly self loathing people you'll ever meet. Understand that about them, even take some satisfaction in that, and move on with your life.

Even if the bully has changed, you don't think she deserved to get a shot in for the way he had treated her a decade ago?

Did the guy even know who she was when he asked her out? He didn't even apologize to her or anything.

Well he did reply and apologize, and she says it's too late, but is nice she got one. You have to read the link to see.

I don't really see it as being bitter myself. So much as he wasn't nice to her, caused her alot of trouble, and basically she doesn't want to see and interact with him, just move on after saying what she had to say. But I don't think that has to mean she seethed in hatred or had visions about him all those years later. Just more of "You made my time hell, and I don't want to be bothered with you"

His response was good. He acknowledged what he had done and apologized.

Hey… For what it’s worth, I was actually here to meet up looking for a chance to meet up looking to make friends, not because you are very good looking.
I guess I had it coming though, and certainly don’t blame you for standing me up.
I can’t change who I was 8 years ago, and I won’t insult your intelligence by pretending that it didn’t happen, but I hope you believe me when I say I’m a completely different person now.
I can only apologise and wish you the very best.
I guess I won’t hear from you again but I mean it when I say that I hope you have every success you deserve.
Hopefully, both will be able to move on (not necessarily separately) and leave it in the past.

[and not allow the anger to drive them into the ground]

This woman basically wasted a lot of energy to set up a whole stunt to get back at someone who picked on her 8 years ago, humiliating him and stooping to his level 8 years ago. I think she did him a favor by rejecting him. Someone who would spend this amount of energy getting revenge for something that basically a child did to them years ago will not make a good romantic partner whenever you make a mistake and do them wrong.
